Conan’s Corpse Picker

Chapter 2143 2146【Good People】

Jiang Xia reminded him: "The handle of the knife is full of blood."

The Mumu Police Department immediately understood - a normal person would stab the person with a knife and hold the handle of the knife to block the blood, but the handle of the knife was not stained with blood at all.

After they finished looking at the knife, the police officer from the forensics department took another evidence bag: "There are several masks that are more or less stained with blood. The blood stains are all at the corners of the mouth - this one has the most stains."

Jiang Xia glanced at the mask and saw that the blood was centered on the mouth, and half of the mask had been splashed open. It looked as if the mask had bitten through a human artery.

Police officer from the Forensic Bureau: "The blood should have been spattered on it. The mask must have been very close to the deceased at the time of the crime. And the angle is a bit strange, it spattered from the front, it just looked like..."

He didn’t dare to say the next words because it was too unmaterialistic—judging from the splattered blood, it was as if the mask had bitten the deceased.

The Mumu Police Department didn't think about it from the perspective of those gods and ghosts: "Maybe the murderer happened to be wearing this mask when he committed the crime. Huh, that guy found so many masks and scattered them on the bed, he must be trying to confuse the public. They want us to move closer to the legend - we are the police, how could we be fooled by such a trick!"

After he finished speaking with great passion, he remembered that he had no idea who the murderer was. The tone of Mumu Police Department weakened again, and he cleared his throat nonchalantly: "Right, brother Jiang Xia."

Jiang Xia nodded with dignity.

At this time, Sato Miwako came into the house with a cold air. She took a breath of hot air on her palms and rubbed them while saying: "We searched the yard and the nearby woods - there were no footprints on the snow, and this snow fell yesterday." It had stopped in the evening, which shows that no one except the police had entered or left the villa before and after the incident."

Jiang Xia looked at a group of onlookers who were quietly eating melons with their ears raised: "So the murderer is among us."

 Everyone: "!" Damn it, I still haven't escaped...

 Fortunately, everyone has seen many cases and has been mentally prepared for it. At this time, they just become more wary of the people around them.

The Mu Mu Police Department breathed a sigh of relief - it would be easy to handle if they were not outsiders, they only needed to check the people in the house.

but…

"Not counting Jiangxia and the others for the time being..." Megure Police Department glanced at Maya Hashimoto in his anxious eyes, "Mr. Hashimoto, there were photographer Masaki Katagiri, baseball player Mamoru Matsudaira, and secretary Inaba in this room last night. Kazuyo, fortune teller Nagaharu, rock singer Aikawa Touya, and two twin maids..."

seven people?

 How come there are so many!

Torimaru Naoko glanced at the anxious Masumi Takamori: "This house will separate the east and west sides at night. Mrs. Su Fang's bedroom is on the third floor, and can only be accessed from the west, so the murderer should be among the people on the west side. .”

Maya Hashimoto: "..." This woman is stealing the detective assistant's job again! What does she want to do? Could it be that they are really colleagues?

Megure Police Department's eyes lit up when he heard this. He took the statistical chart given to him by Naoko Toriyama and did some calculations: "Those who live in the west include you, the secretary, the photographer, the baseball player, the fortune teller, uh..."

 Five people is still a lot.

 …But it’s better than the seven just now. Mumu Police Department wiped his face and had to work diligently. Fortunately, he was familiar with other processes. There didn't seem to be much difference between three, five, and seven tasks.

He simply stopped going into details and gathered everyone in the restaurant. Then he asked for alibi as usual: "Where were you doing at 2:30 yesterday morning? Can anyone prove it?"

 After saying that, the Mumu Police Department quietly glanced at Jiang Xia and found that Jiang Xia was distractedly looking at the two maids.

The Memu Police Department then looked over and casually clicked on the one closest to him: "Miss Shimoli, please tell me first." The two of them looked so similar that he couldn't tell them apart. Fortunately, they both had the same surname, so they definitely didn't have the same surname. wrong.

Takamori Masumi, who was the first to be taken out: "...!" Why did the policeman call her so early? Did he suspect something? !

While feeling flustered, she simply followed the panic and trembled like a poor passerby who rarely encounters murder cases: "I... I stayed in my room and slept until Mr. Hashimoto came to call me. "

Maya Hashimoto glanced at her: "..." This was a lie - this woman was obviously not just waking up when he went there, she looked like she had already woken up and had a meal.

But he didn't point it out: he and the maid were the only two people in the room at the time, Conan was thrown away, and there was no third person who could testify. Even if it was exposed, the maid could change her story and say that after being frightened by the silence, she couldn't sleep and didn't dare to go out, so she waited in the room wide awake.

Of course, more importantly, Hashimoto Maya now suspects that these two maids are from Uzo - although Conan, the scroll king, always cheats him and does not seem to shy away from internal fighting at all. But Maya Hashimoto was new here and didn't know the rules well. She didn't dare to send her colleagues right under the police's nose.

He had no choice but to play it safe and said nothing, just looking at the sky silently.

There was no third party to interrupt, so the Mumu Police Department didn't see anything. They only heard that this was the maid who was staying with Jiang Xia and the others - Dongfang. There was no suspicion about the people here.

He then relaxed a little and his tone was no longer so serious: "After Mr. Hashimoto found you, you guys went to the mask hall to open the door together?"

Masumi Takamori thought about all her eighteen years of life experience, and finally managed to stabilize her weak and helpless look. She nodded: "We first went to the kitchen to get the key - the key was hung on the wall of the kitchen, and then we went The Masquerade is open."

The Mumu Police Department suddenly realized: "The key is actually public? In other words, even people from the east of you can go to the west to kill people at any time?"

Takamori Masumi was startled and said quickly: "There are two doors of the Mask Hall between the east and the west. You can't get through with only one key!"

 “Oh, that’s right.” The Mu Mu Police Department felt a little embarrassed. He scratched his head and looked at others, “What about you?”

 At random, I turned my head in the direction of Maya Hashimoto.

Maya Hashimoto: "..." Could this policeman still think he is suspicious subconsciously? Damn it, he is a good citizen!

Feeling a little unhappy, but being watched by a group of police and detectives, the Tokyo Bay land reclamation journeyman could only say honestly: "I received an internal call from an unknown person in the room in the middle of the night yesterday. I was so panicked that I didn't know what to do. If you want to do it, go and wake up Jiang Xia and the others..."

He spoke in detail about what happened last night, and then said: "After meeting the maid, we entered the Mask Hall and found that the shelves on both sides were empty, and all the 200 cursed masks were gone."
